Hi list,
I can't find out why the following command give different results:
database-# CREATE TABLE "test1" (dev_id int, dev_slots integer[] DEFAULT
'{0,0,0,0,0}');
CREATE
If you display (\d test1) the table-structure all looks good - even the
DEFAULTs.
...but if you have an existing table and want to add a column of type array,
it doesn't
work:
database-# CREATE TABLE "test2" (dev_id int);
CREATE
database-# ALTER TABLE "test2" ADD COLUMN dev_slots integer[] DEFAULT
'{0,0,0,0,0}');
ALTER
If you now display the table-structure, the DEFAULT-statement is not listed
and
UPDATE-commands on the ARRAY do strange things.
Any clou?
